‘The Quarry’ redefines the gaming genre

The Quarry video game from Supermassive Games takes its cues from slasher-type horror films. (Source: Digital Domain)   The Quarry, a just-released video game from Supermassive Games and published by 2K Games, is described as an interactive drama/horror along the lines of a teen slasher flick like Friday the 13th, as nine teen counselors struggle to survive their last night at Hackett’s Quarry summer camp, while fending off strange creatures and locals run amok. Who will survive and who won’t is up to the gameplay decisions of the player, who assumes control of all nine playable characters (in single-player mode).
